    "electric contactor grease" ?

    Daytona 3-ton low profile jack not pumping car up?? No visible leaks

    Just got another scam e-mail

    I generally don't recommend Gmail, but their spam filtering is pretty spot on. If an email gets reported by many users then they will blanket mark the sender IP, not just domain as a spam host. They're good at catching domain spoofing emails too

    Is this multimeter ok?

    Id probably just go ahead and get a Fluke 101. Does Hz, auto ranges, and is fluke quality. ~$47 on Amazon Fluke 101 @ Amazon I can attest to fluke quality. Ive ran the same Fluke 87 III for almost a decade daily for electrical troubleshooting.
